In the fall of 1870, in his one hun

revisited the scenes of his childhood
in York I'a., and while there received
quite an ovation from its citizens.
Among other tokens of respect he
i was presl'iited with a gold-headed cane
by the member* ot th» Laurel Fire
Goinpuny, of which company he was
the oldest surviving member. The
Company had liiui charged on their
I books with a fine of eleven pence "for

For ninny yearn past there ban been ;
living in Inili.iti Creek township this I
! (Monroe) com.ty, a married couple ,
I named L)i••ks-. About a week ago]
, Zaehaiiah Dicks, the husband, made !
! a will in which it was provided that,
(should he die lintt, all of his property '
|j>hu«!d to the children, ami they I
, were t«i provide for their mother tin. j

j ly objected to such a disposition of the i
[ property, and demanded that the will j
jbe changed, but her husband heeded j
I her not. Becoming convinced that!
would do ito good, the old In.
jdy began to threaten, and tiinally leftj
I her husband's roof. Shc never would 1

j threat did not move the old manj but'
I the old lady kept her wordr fefaai

An exchange says " A. T. Stewart j
uses tobacco in no shape." To think
that a man who is abundantly able to
go to ITavana and lay in an inexhaus
tible supply of cigars at a dollar
apiece, should thug wilfully, ami yon
' may say maliciously, throw away the
1 priceless luxury of smoking, is enough
to make a man in straightened circum
stances tear his hair and howl.

HAIR
Every year increases the popu
larity of this valuable Hair Prep,
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
natrons that it is kept fully up to
its Mali standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara
tion for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it sMI, lustrous, and silken. The j
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair cp-ows thieker and stronger.
In baldness, it restores the capillary j
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
evtrtrop old age., It is the most
economical HAIR-DRKSSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica
tion!*, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
M.D, State Assayer of Massachu
